I’m (m28) just tired of it. My entire life it’s been an uphill fight, but I’m just never good enough. My last relationship ended last year and she was with someone within two months. She never posted me on anything, but she posted pictures with that guy immediately. She had her own issues, like real bad issues, but it made me think, am I not even good enough for her? I tried dating a girl recently and she just wasted my time. At work I’ve been overworked and underpaid and I know if a promotion came around, it would go to my counterpart and not me. I’m overweight and I want to do something about it - but I often find myself depressed and I just eat unhealthy stuff out of depression.

My mom is constantly going on about how I should want better for myself and how I should go out more, but really that just makes me feel worse about myself. My siblings attract girls like crazy and I have trouble (one is an overweight truck driver and the other is a mechanic who’s just starting his life) and that makes me feel worthless too, like no one would ever care about me. When I was younger, I’d joke about wanting to go, now as I do I can’t tell if it’s a joke anymore. I just want to be good enough for something or someone.

Does this feeling end eventually? How can I get over this? I’m tired of feeling like this and I just want to be happy for once
